Maria Kounalaki-Kotsovolou

Maria Kounalaki-Kotsovolou cut thick sheets of metal with a torch in her Athens studio, leaving raw edges that catch the light like jagged poetry. She once told a friend she wanted her work to feel “alive even when it’s still,” and you can see that in pieces like *Χωρίς τίτλο (Metalwork)*, where bent steel seems to breathe. Look her up next time you’re near the old factory-turned-gallery in Psiri—her work sits right by the front door, impossible to miss.
